i read several articles about php framework(im a newbie in framework) and they talked about bootstrapping. I have zero knowledge about bootstrapping, i already searched about them in the google, all i found were about twitter bootstrap etc which i dont understand.
Can someone please explain what is bootstrapping (especially in web development field) and if u will, please give some examples or link (because i couldnt find a good example for this one)
thankyou very much :)
From Wikipedia (first Google result):
Software loading and execution
The computer term bootstrap began as a metaphor in the 1950s. In computers, pressing a bootstrap button caused a hardwired program to read a bootstrap program from an input unit. The computer would then execute the bootstrap program, which caused it to read more program instructions. It became a self-sustaining process that proceeded without external help from manually entered instructions. As a computing term, bootstrap has been used since at least 1953.
It looks like you are asking about the bootstrap framework created at Twitter: http://getbootstrap.com/about/
